Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying
LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Mining & quarrying — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.
Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.
Every person in the UK relies on around 5.8 tonnes of mineral products a year, and the industry supplied 397 million tonnes in 2023 while supporting 89,000 direct jobs, coordinated largely through the Mineral Products Association. Sites are dusty, heavy and heavily regulated under the Quarries Regulations 1999 and COSHH, with respirable crystalline silica the headline health risk. LoRaWAN sensing brings dust, vibration, water-level and plant data back from remote pits without running cables across the site.
Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying: sensors, gateways and dashboards
Built for Quarry and site managers, Health, safety and environment managers, Plant and maintenance engineers, Environmental compliance officers and Aggregates and minerals operators. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying deployments include:
- Respirable dust and silica monitoring at crushers and screening plant
- Vibration and tilt sensing on tips, tailings and quarry faces
- Noise and air-quality logging at site boundaries for permit compliance
- Water-level and pump monitoring in pits and settlement lagoons
- Plant and vehicle telematics for haulage and fuel use
- Lone-worker and gas sensing in confined and remote areas
LoRaWAN sensors and gateways for Mining & quarrying
The Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying hardware below is UK-stocked and dispatched nationwide. Every device joins the same five-layer stack, so you can start with one gateway and a handful of sensors and scale without re-platforming.
EM500Outdoor environmental sensorRugged EM500 series for outdoor CO2, level, pressure and soil measurement.
UR35Industrial cellular routerDual-SIM 4G/5G router for resilient connectivity at remote and mobile sites.
UG67Outdoor LoRaWAN gatewayIP67 outdoor gateway for site-wide coverage across yards, plants and campuses.
EM300Leak / contact / T+RH sensorCompact EM300 series for door, leak, temperature and humidity monitoring.
TS101Insertion temperature sensorLoRaWAN insertion probe for pipe, tank and process temperature.
UG65Semi-industrial LoRaWAN gateway8-channel indoor gateway backhauling hundreds of LoRaWAN sensors over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular.
Compliance and drivers in Mining & quarrying
Quarries work under the Quarries Regulations 1999, enforced by the HSE, covering excavations, tips, stockpiles and processing plant. Dust is controlled under COSHH, with respirable crystalline silica carrying a workplace exposure limit of 0.1 mg/m3 as an 8-hour time-weighted average and a recognised risk of silicosis. Tips and tailings must be managed for stability, and boundary noise, dust and water are usually planning and permit conditions that lend themselves to continuous monitoring.
Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor.

Why Mining & quarrying teams choose Indiott
Here is why mining & quarrying operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying partner rather than a generic reseller.
UK stock, UK delivery
Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.
Engineer-led, not box-shifting
An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.
One stack, many brands
Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.
Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends
When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.
Industrial IoT for Mining and Quarrying: frequently asked questions
Can it monitor dust and silica exposure?
Fixed dust monitors log respirable particulate at crushers, screens and boundaries continuously, helping evidence COSHH control against the silica exposure limit.
Will it work across a large remote site?
LoRaWAN reaches several kilometres in open ground, so pits, lagoons and boundaries report back without trenching cable across the quarry.
What about tips and water?
Tilt, vibration and water-level sensors watch tips, faces and settlement lagoons, giving early warning of movement or rising water.
